Translating professional archaeological research into meaningful
and thoughtful educational experiences for the public has taken on
increased urgency in recent years. This book presents eight case
studies by professional archaeologists who discuss innovative
approaches and advances in research methodology while examining the
myriad challenges associated with interpreting this work for the
public. Each study focuses on a particular Native American
bison-kill site and shares the unique path from archaeological
investigation to the creation of a public interpretive facility.
Collectively the chapters comprise a comprehensive exploration of
the multifaceted linkages between archaeological research and
public education-ranging in scope from the interrelationships of an
interpretive facility with its surrounding communities to the
nuances of explaining bone decomposition to site visitors. These
examples provide valuable insights from which archaeologists and
science interpreters of all disciplines can conceptualize and build
their own educational programs.
